I Would Tell You Goodbye (I Would Never Get Away)

I would tell you goodbye,

But then I'd never get away.

If I told you not to miss me

I would never get away.

I think you'd realize

That I mean it this time;

I am never coming back, my friend.

I think you'd realize

That I mean it this time;

You will never see me again.

Don't tell me not to leave,

Don't try to make me stay;

I would tell you goodbye,

But then I'd never get away.

Don't try to hold me back,

Don't beg me not to go;

We've all got our place,

And mine is alone.

I would tell you goodbye,

But then I'd never get away.

If I told you not to cry

I could never go away.
